Abstract
The outcomes of pediatric chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) have improved with the use of imatinib mesylate (IM). Multiple reports of growth deceleration with IM have raised concerns, necessitating careful monitoring and evaluation in children with CML. We systematically searched the databases of PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, CENTRAL, and conferences-abstracts, reporting the effect of IM on growth among children with CML, and published in the English language from inception till March 2022. For observational studies, the modified Newcastle Ottawa Scale was used to assess the risk of bias. Pooled estimates were derived using a random-effects meta-analysis, and heterogeneity was assessed using Cochrane Q statistic test of heterogeneity and I
2 statistic. Of the 757 studies identified through electronic search, 15 (n=265) were included in the final analysis. Six studies (n=178) were included in the meta-analysis of the primary outcome. There was a significant deleterious effect of IM on height—standardized mean difference (SMD): −0.52 (95% CI: −0.76; −0.28) (I
2=13%). The adverse effect of IM on height was significant among studies with a follow-up period <3 years [SMD: −0.66 (95% CI: −0.93, −0.40), I
2=0%, P=0.59] but not in studies with follow-up period ≥3 years [SMD: −0.26 (95% CI: −0.63, 0.11), I
2=0, P=0.44], indicating that the effect of IM on height is a short-term effect. The effect of IM on height was not dependent upon pubertal status at the initiation of therapy. Prospective studies with adequate sample size are required to confirm the findings of the effect of IM on height in children with CML.
